Prediction Cups - Revised draws

Apologies to those that tried to view online at 12.30pm. My internet went down for 30 minutes. I did announce that the draw would be rescheduled for 1.15pm but I didn’t give much notice. At least, the draw didn't have the same team coming out twice!

The draws for the 2nd round of the Prediction Knock Out Cup and Johnstone Paint Prediction Cup have been completed. The ties will be played over the weekend of 20/21 January. The replays for the first round will take place this weekend (13/14 January). Good luck to everyone!!

It wasn't pretty, but 1-0 up with a game to spare. Into the 2nd round for the first time ever in my replay against @addick1965. Next stop: @Karim_myBagheri away. My army will be ready to come to town next week.

After two draws, the highest placed team in the League goes through, I'm afraid. It's a cruel way to go out. We're bringing in VAR for the next round, so that dubious penalty that @stackitsteve got will be ruled out in future.

Congratulations to @Karim_myBagheri for your victory over my team. I shouldn't have sent my under 19s to face a BHSL side. I've locked the dressing room door and will soon be shouting at my players. Good luck. Go all the way to Wembley.

Count back is no real hassle. It still suffers from the same problem that the winner is known before the game is played in the event of a draw in a replay. The rule I could bring in for next season is the least goals that a person is from the actual result. So, if you predicted 2-1 for a game and the score was actually 1-0, you would be 2 goals out from the actual score. (One for the home team and one for the away team). If the score was 1-1 and you had predicted 3-0 you would be 3 goals out (two for the home team and one for the away team). The lower total from the three games could then go through on penalties. The benefit of a rule like this is that in the event of a draw in a replay, no one would know who would win until the games had been played.

However, for this year, it’s higher league position as stated in the rules before the competition started.

so glad you underestimated us, we wouldn't ever have beaten your full strength side. I said at the start of the cup campaign that we needed a good run to help the club stay afloat and so far we are keeping the bailiffs at bay.
